If there are stones that are glued on, will the chemicals in the cleaner loosen them, or make them fall off?

Yes. Dont use if there are stones gled on. I suggest a silver cleaning cloth for that.

Amanda ~ I haven't used it with any jewelry that has glued on stones so can't answer your question. I have a feeling that they would be okay though.

I believe it does loosen stones and jewels that are glued on. I had a pearl fall off one of my rings that I dipped and cleaned. I do not leave anything in the cleaner for more than 5 seconds either because I'm afraid. Wear gloves and rinse well!

Amanda, to my knowledge it isn't a good idea to use any chemical cleaner on jewelry with glued in stones. That said, you can use a Q-tip to clean the medal part and not immersing the item completely as the instructions say. Another way to clean jewelry without chemicals is by rubbing toothpaste on the item, then rinsing off with water.

I had some earings and bracelets with stones and they were OK. Don't keep them long in the solution. Few seconds.

I have accidentally left our stone in the oven and set the oven to "self clean" (no chemicals/sprays added). When the oven was done cleaning, It actually turned any stains/goop on the stone to gray dust, with a little sponge water, it came right off. Looked almost brand new!

Unfortunately, no. For it to stay and hold it really needs a smooth surface. If the item is not heavy, it might hold somewhat but getting the glue off later will be a pistol of a job.

Yes, but we had to wipe off the haze with isopropyl alcohol (use sparingly) and a soft cloth. If water droplets stay on top and don't soak in, you are sealed. Some polished granite doesn't need to be sealed. Check the water droplet test in a few places.

I'm not sure what you mean about coating coming off, I don't think that the unit has/had any coating. But about the stains, yes marble is a soft stone and even with sealer, if somebody puts/drops on the stone something like lime/lemon juice, or even coffee, it would leave a small stain on it. What we do is to put a cut board or other object that covers the stone to protect it.

It might remove super glue. It's stronger than Goo Gone but not as damaging as Goof Off.

Yes I was told it was safe on all sealed stone surfaces. My flooring is Italian porcelain and hit has been sealed

I'm not a jeweler but I wouldn't recommend it. I use extreme caution when using metal polishing cloths on stones. depending on how porous the stone is, the chemicals from the cloth could make the stone brittle or discolored.

Maybe with something like mineral spirits they will wash off, But they are pretty permanent.

Use an Oxi dish washing detergent. It does not leave a residue on jewelry. Some stones like diamond it is safe to use a small amount of ammonia. The ammonia will remove oils and stuck yuck. Soft stones do not use ammonia!

Yes. It would be "difficult" to detach them without cracking the chalk-likeness of the stones.With that said, someone could probably figure it out to detach them. Now, the triangle-cylinder that the stones are attached to is independent from the base.

Yes, I would guess that is what caused it. The glue itself did not touch the top of the stones, only the metal cups that they sit in, so the vapor, is what I am assuming, did the damage.

Yes. The gems will stick very well with this glue. But when you decide to remove the gems, I suggest using an acetone remover so that the gems along with all glue residue is fully removed.

I don't know if this will work on stone, but Gorilla glue works great on stone. Just make sure both surfaces are wet when you apply.

It should not because the setting is heating up the rhinestone to melt the rhinestone's glue. When you set the stone on your fabric, its pretty much just the glue that touches the fabric and not the setter. You don't need to hold the stone down on the fabric if they glue is completely melted - so the time the setter touches the fabric (if it does and not just the glue on the stone) is very short if at all.

I use a polishing cloth and once a month cleaning solution. I recently had to have the tines tightened because the stone seemed loose and actually fell out.
